Please note Strike called by local Port Health officers continue in force.

However, issuance of FREE PRATIQUES not ceased completely and slowly, some being granted by local Port Health officers who are working on duty basis for such exclusive purpose.

Based on the above exposed fact, duty officers are issuing/granting FREE PRATIQUE just to those Ships programmed for berthing during Dock Co. meeting on the current day till next day morning, but anyhow, subject to delays.

As far as indicated, there should be no officers on duty during whole weekend.

Last but not least, there was a meeting held last night between representatives of Port Health officers and the Government but unfortunately, without successful outcome.

We will keep on following-up the above matter very closely and keeping you properly updated on developments.
